"Will the archaelogical discovery change the world... or just destroy all those associated with it?"

It's the discovery of a lifetime... but it could cost them
everything. Nine Viking bodies in perfect condition have
been unearthed and archaeologist Lexy Vaughn has been
invited to the site by expedition leader Steven Macaulay
due
to her expertise in decoding Norse runes. Unfortunately,
someone else has other plans regarding the expedition and
all of their lives will be in jeopardy. Can Lexy and
Macaulay survive when even the elements are against them?
VALHALLA is a fast paced thrill ride! I love seeing Norse
mythology woven into the storyline as Robert J. Mrazek
makes
it current and relevant. Lexy and Macaulay are great main
characters and I hope VALHALLA is the start of an ongoing
series so we can see them again. The villains are a bit
one
dimensional but the political intrigue and action more
than
compensate.
VALHALLA is the sort of book that is hard to put down once
you start reading. I kept telling myself "just one more
page" as the action and intrigue guarantee there is nary a
dull moment. VALHALLA is pure reading bliss as I could
practically see the adventure thriller unfolding in my
mind.
VALHALLA is easily recommended!

SUMMARY
Along the Greenland ice cap, an expedition team makes an
astounding discovery. Buried five hundred feet below the
ice
cap is the wreckage of an ancient ship—and nine perfectly
preserved Vikings. Rune markings indicate it went missing
in
1016 BC. Energized by the find, retired Air Force general Steven
Macaulay assembles the foremost scholars of Norse
archaeology, including Harvard academic and master decoder
Lexy Vaughan. But the mission is violently sabotaged—
because
this discovery holds the key to a mystery that will change
the human race. To put together the pieces of the puzzle, Macaulay and
Lexy
plunge headlong into a web of chaos and betrayal—all the
while hunted by a covert primeval society that will stop
at
nothing to protect their secrets.
